Owners’ Counsel of America Awards the Crystal Eagle to Sonia Eaddy and Nicole King
MILWAUKEE, February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) - At Owners' Counsel of America's Annual Dinner held on Feb. 4, 2023, in Austin, TX, the Crystal Eagle was awarded jointly to two extraordinary women. Sonia Eaddy is a homeowner and community activist, and Nicole King is an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County. The award was given in recognition of their tireless efforts to save the historic black neighborhood of Poppleton, an area in west Baltimore that has been all but eradicated in order to make way for what many have described as an ill-conceived, poorly planned, and largely failed urban renewal project. Although this project came into existence nearly 50 years ago and resulted in the eventual destruction of over 500 private properties, very little redevelopment has taken place. Meanwhile, the neighborhood of Poppleton has been left to suffer the loss of its homes, shops, businesses, and cultural connections.
But instead of giving up and simply leaving, the residents of Poppleton fought back. Sonia Eaddy's inspirational leadership and Professor Nicole King's knowledge and research of how urban renewal has decimated black and brown communities across America, but particularly in Baltimore, proved invaluable in changing hearts and minds. They have now convinced city officials to withdraw the eminent domain taking of Sonia Eaddy's home and several historic town homes. But these two remarkable women are not done fighting. They understand that the movement they started is far bigger than any one or two people. They intend to continue their grassroots community effort to force the City to consider the needs and desires of all stakeholders in any redevelopment that should take place, but particularly the residents of Poppleton.
"Sonia Eaddy and Nicole King embody the exact ideals that OCA seeks to honor with the Crystal Eagle award," says Leslie Fields, Executive Director of OCA. "Working together over a span of many years, with the legal assistance and help of OCA Member Joseph Suntum, they remained steadfast in their commitment to protect and defend the fundamental rights of private property owners. I have no doubt that they will prevail in their ultimate goal of making sure that the people most impacted by redevelopment have a meaningful role in deciding what actually gets developed."

Rosebud Restaurants Announces $4 Million Carmine’s Chicago Reconstruction Project
CHICAGO, February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Today, Rosebud Restaurants announced that Carmine's Chicago will be temporarily closed for reconstruction beginning Feb. 27, 2023.
The $4 million reconstruction project is expected to last 15 months, with demolition of the existing building slated to begin shortly after the last day of service, Feb. 26.
The new Carmine's will measure over 10,000 square feet of dining space and feature an expansive, all-weather, outdoor terrace overlooking Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, stunning dining rooms and multiple bar areas on the first-floor entry and terrace.
"At Rosebud Restaurants, our customers are always a top priority," said Alex Dana, founder of Carmine's parent company, Rosebud Restaurants. "This reconstruction will help us reach new levels of success when we reopen in 2024 by creating an even better, more memorable, dining experience."
When Carmine's first opened its doors in the early 90s, it quickly became a hotspot for celebrities, Chicagoans and tourists alike. Its classic, Italian menu and prime location for people-watching have made it the top choice for many when it comes to dining out in Chicago.
"Rosebud has continued to grow amidst all of the changes and challenges we've experienced as a city over the last 50 years," said Dana. "Unfortunately, we've seen many of our greatest competitors struggle to overcome these challenges, and it's with great admiration and respect to them that we approach new projects and continue to grow the legacy of iconic Chicago institutions."
Since its first store opened in 1976, Rosebud Restaurants have expanded to include nine locations across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs and are celebrated for their commitment to serving up authentic, Italian recipes, generous portions and exceptional service. The new Carmine's building is one of many exciting projects on the horizon for Rosebud Restaurants.
Throughout the Carmine's reconstruction, customers can enjoy their favorite dishes at neighboring Rosebud Restaurants locations:
Rosebud on Rush, 720 N Rush St.
Rosebud Randolph, 130 E Randolph St.
Rosetta Italian, 1 S Dearborn St.
The Rosebud, 1500 W Taylor St.

Reflexions Selected by Metro to Modernize Digital Customer Experience
WASHINGTON, February 16, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Reflexions is pleased to announce that it has been engaged by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) to modernize and redesign the organization's website, SmartTrip web applications, and other key customer touchpoints.
With over one hundred million annual riders on its buses and rail system, Metro plays a critical role in both the National Capital Region and the broader northeast corridor. Reflexions is eager to assist Metro in better serving and engaging with its customers through a more unified and modernized customer experience.
"While separately helping New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority [MTA] successfully launch its acclaimed OMNY fare payment system alongside Cubic Transportation Systems, our team is well-positioned to help Metro with digital strategy, design, and implementation support," said Daniel Leslie, a managing partner at the firm.
"We've assembled, if I may, one of the most talented and nimble teams in the industry that's pushing the limits of how the digital experience in transit can be more streamlined, more accessible, and more effortless for millions of riders each day," he added.
Apart from ongoing work with the MTA in New York and Metro in the capital region, Reflexions is currently playing a similar role in redesigning the customer experience for some of the largest transit authorities in the U.S. and the world, including the Port Authority of NY & NJ, Boston's MBTA, the Bay Area's MTC, and Translink in Queensland, Australia.
Reflexions began the multi-year, multi-million dollar engagement with Metro in late 2021 and is set to be completed in 2024.
Founded in 1999, Reflexions is a digital strategy, design, and development firm based in New York City.
